Genesis 26:30 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 26:30

And he made them a feast
Made a feast like a king, for the king and his grandees; he treated them in a generous way, according to their dignity, and agreeable to his own disposition and substance: and they did eat and drink;
freely, cheerfully, and in a friendly manner; for both having spoken their minds, they agreed to bury all former things oblivion, and live in peace and friendship; though this feast was not on account of the covenant made between them, as is observed by some interpreters, but as an hospitable act, and a token of good will; for the covenant and the oath confirming it seem to be made next morning, as follows:

Genesis 26:30 In-Context

28 They answered, "We have seen that the LORD is with you. So we thought, 'There should be a solemn agreement between us.' We'd like to make an agreement with you

29 that you will not harm us, since we have not touched you. We have done only good to you and let you go in peace. Now you are blessed by the LORD."

30 Isaac prepared a special dinner for them, and they ate and drank.

31 Early the next morning they exchanged oaths. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left peacefully.

32 That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about a well they had dug. They said to him, "We've found water."
